Build the UMP Device Driver for Linux by running the following make command:
-KDIR=<kdir_path> CONFIG=<your_config> make
+KDIR=<kdir_path> CONFIG=<your_config> BUILD=<build_option> make
where
kdir_path: Path to your Linux Kernel directory
your_config: Name of the sub-folder to find the required config.h file
("arch-" will be prepended)
+ build_option: debug or release. Debug is default.
-The config.h file contains the configuration parameters needed, like the
-memory backend to use, and the amount of memory.
+The config.h contains following configuration parameters:
+
+ARCH_UMP_BACKEND_DEFAULT
+ 0 specifies the dedicated memory allocator.
+ 1 specifies the OS memory allocator.
+ARCH_UMP_MEMORY_ADDRESS_DEFAULT
+ This is only required for the dedicated memory allocator, and specifies
+ the physical start address of the memory block reserved for UMP.
+ARCH_UMP_MEMORY_SIZE_DEFAULT
+ This specified the size of the memory block reserved for UMP, or the
+ maximum limit for allocations from the OS.
The result will be a ump.ko file, which can be loaded into the Linux kernel
-by using the insmod command.
+by using the insmod command. The driver can also be built as a part of the
